I had it D7made up not to make a Gfrown, but a Dlittle bitty A7tear let me Ddown.        D7  G  D  A7  D  
Everything D7went like I A7planned it, and I Areally put A7on quite a Dshow,
In my D7heart I felt I could Gstand it, til’ you Dwalked with your A7grip through the Ddoor.
Then, a little bitty D7tear let me A7down, Aspoiled my A7act as a Dclown,
I had it D7made up not to make a Gfrown, but a Dlittle bitty A7tear let me Ddown; oh……
A D7little bitty A7tear let me Ddown.     (x2 and Fade)
